The Newport Beach Film Festival is in progress right now. I have a group of students with screenings in the festival. The film is entitled "90 ". Jason Wise is the director and writer. Jake McCurdy did a brilliant job as cinematographer and editor. The film screens:

Tickets are $10.00

To buy tickets call 866-NBFF-TIX
The film plays in the Getting Your Shorts in a Twist program.

It's a fine film.

Don't Forget The Varicam

by Bill Dill, ASC on Sat 23 Apr 2005 12:21 PM PDT

One of the things that comes out of NAB for me is the sophistication of the PanasonicVaricam AJ-HDC27F. The way theVaricam handles data it allows for the manipulating of frame rates in a sophisticated way (4-60 FPS). With tape, when recording slower frame rates there is lots of redundant data. Now that we have solid state recording we’ll start recording data only as needed by the actual frame rate. This is possible because the Varicam has the capacity to record 60 progressive, unique frames of data persecond. Keep the Varicam in the mix when you think about shooting a film in digital.

Venom use on the Arri D-20 (by Guy Livneh)

by Bill Dill, ASC on Sat 23 Apr 2005 12:14 AM PDT

There is another bit of news i got from the Arri tech at their booth.

Apparently they are striking a deal with Grass Valley for the "Venom" flash mags to be used under a different name for the D-20. I think the images shown at the Arri booth were recorded using HDCAM SR so it can only get better.

NAB Report For Tuesday

by Bill Dill, ASC on Tue 19 Apr 2005 09:21 PM PDT

Panasonic spoke a lot about the future possibilities of their systems. This was interesting. It was as if they were more enthusiastic about where they�re going than where they are. I was not overly impressed with the AD-HVX200 camera. more »
